Sunday Chores

So on Sunday I slept in until 7am when mummy came down and woke me up. She said we were having more visitors today so I had to be on my best behaviour - aren't I always?

She also said that Sunday's are for doing chores so I had to be good. I'm not sure what chores are but we had lots of fun and I was very helpful. First I helped mummy to load the dishwasher - I thought giving the dishes a lick would give them a head-start. Then I helped mummy make breakfast by chewing on her trousers while she put some toast on. Next we did some washing which was great fun. How it works is that mummy puts lots of socks into a big white machine, then I take them out again while her back's turned. This game went on for quite a while and mummy seemed to enjoy it, until she found some socks I had hidden in my basket after she'd switched the machine on and I don't think she was very happy about that. Finally I helped her water the flowers in the garden, although she did say it would be more helpful if I wasn't trying to chew a hole in the hosepipe while she was doing it. Well, I Was just trying to be useful!

After all that hard work I was exhausted. I managed to lure mummy onto the floor with the promise of a game of tug, then I climbed into her lap and had a little sleep. I wanted to be at my best for the visitors!
